It's Showtime !!!

I love this show "Showtime at the Apollo". Not for the talent, but the crowd. It's such a cultural difference for me. The Black audience members are so supportive, White people will clap, and maybe give a standing ovation (at the end of the performance, first looking around to make sure everybody else is doing it), but these people are yelling," You go girl", and " Yeah, yeah", at any point they feel appropriate. I love it, I can't look away. Then you see the five or six white people in the audience, looking worried. It's a huge cultural gap, I think it's a blast, just not when I'm at the movies. The screen can't hear you, when I was little I remember seeing "Misery" at the Market Arcade, and everybody kept yelling, " Hurry she's coming back, ahhhh, go in the kitchen and get the knife !!!!" Not so amusing. So I'll keep watching the 'Appolo' because it's free.

Ouch

It's friiiiiiiday, boy am I tired. So for the past three years I have worked part time as a Massage Therapist. I had recently come to the conclusion that it wasn't my 'cup of tea'. So know I work as a general Contractor, (with my parents company). The reason I'm telling you this is because for the first time in three years, I have cuts all over my hands, and I love it. Each little wound is a reminder of a job well done. Massage just gave me crippling muscle spasms and pain. But now my back feels better, and my hands are weathered. Scars are like the body's version of the Post-it. I remember where they all came from. Reminders of lessons learned ( like don't cut wood with a razor blade, age 6). It's just to bad they hurt so much.

The Disney Vault

What the hell is the Disney Vault, and why do I have to hear about it all the time. Why does Disney have to lock up it's movies ? Nobody else does. So what I'm to believe is, The Lion King is going into this Vault, so I should hurry up and buy it, for my kids ( who don't exist yet ), because I might not be able to get it later. You know what I say, Fuck Disney !!! Let them have there shitty movies, I'll buy my kids the book, unless there's a Vault for that too.

The really. really , real world

Where has time gone ? i remember when I was in grade school, and there was an eternity between Columbus Day and Christmas Vacation. Now I'm twenty four, and thirty is all ready on my mind. Where will I be, who will I be. Why is that ? Is it because we hated school, so time dragged on, or maybe that since we were surrounded by so many people we created more memories ? I don't remember anything anymore, as in, "What day is it?, What did I do yesterday, last weekend?".
( and it's not just the alcohol ). Time is just moving along, like a river peace full and serene, and then the waterfall.
When your young people always tell you, " Wait until you get out in the real world" and I guess I always expected...well something? Life didn't really change that much, ( on a day to day basis, of course there are differences) Maybe, the real world just means you have to pay for stuff. Because most places I've worked for are socially " High school". Clicks, Geeks, cool kids, teachers pets, drama, and dating drama. Things don't change because for the most part, people never change.

Neuschwanstein Castle

This is just one of the many sights, my wife and I are very excited about seeing. We're still deciding between a 17 day and a 12 day trip. We just don't know if we could be away from home for over two weeks, so 12 might be our only true option. Wir gehen nach Deutschland !!!

2005 and still alive

Wow it's 2005, in a few months I'll be 25 (and then I can finally pay less for car insurance). The funny thing is, I never thought I'd make it this far. Part of the reason that I blew off high-school was that I didn't think I'd be alive this long. I just always figured that some how, some way, I'd be shot or hit by a car or maybe even beaten to death. ( I was a happy child )
But now I can easily picture, myself, old. Rocking chair, false teeth, Grandchildren, and stories about

When I was a kid computer screens where only Green and Black

People complain all the time about growing old, they say " All life is, is you grow old and then you die." But that's not true.Only if your lucky, will that happen. Growing old is a privilege, we all know someone that was denied that privilege. So be happy, with every ache and pain, and every lost or grey hair, that your still here to experience it, consider the alternative.

Happy New Years?

I've never really understood the concept of New Years. It's not a holiday, and it's not a "happy day" either. Even when I was little I remember thinking, " Oh shit, I'm one year closer to the grave." Year to year things never really change, for the first twenty or so years ( that I understood what was going on) I'd get so depressed thinking, " I can't believe I wasted another year, how can I 'carpe dium' if I can't even seize the whole F'n year.

Until this year, I changed so much. I, in fact, will never be the same, thank God. I was upset looking into the past, But now I'm hopeful for the future. Like Johnny Nash said, "the rain is gone." So Fuck it " HAPPY NEW YEAR'S BITCHES!" Another year of your life has ended, make it worth it, because you never know how many you have left.

Perkins people

So today I went out to dinner. Why isn't a crime for parents to overfeed there children? This poor child was at least 200lbs, and at most eleven years old. It was hard to find human features. This poor child has no future, except a possible heart attack, and I went to high school, I thought people hated me. I'm sure they tell him to his face. Now the parents are the problem, they control his food intake. These people replace love with food, " shut up kid, eat a sandwich." I'm so angry right now, I wish Jarred from Subway could get that train from Batman 2, and drive around collecting these obese children to save them from there dark future. These parents are poisoning there children, one candy bar at a time. Someone should be held accountable.

Attempted Murder

I don't understand this concept, lets say you get mad and you shoot someone, and they die. And then I get mad ( in a totally unrelated incidence ) and I shoot someone and they survive. Shouldn't our punishment be the same, I mean if I intended to kill someone, and failed that doesn't make me a better person. The survival is an event that I had no control over. So even though our actions were the same, you'll be in prison long after me ( if they don't execute you of course).
I also don't understand the concept of "hate crime". Now any time the victim and the killer have a different race, or sexuality, or religious belief this Hate Crime crap is brought up. If some racist scumbag is going to kill someone, do you think, the hate crime bill is a deterrent. Hell no, not if murder one isn't. Murder is one of three things hate, passion or fear (sounds like dating). I just don't understand who there trying to please with this fluff. Here's an Idea for hate crime's, If you kill a black man, or a homosexual etc., you get placed in that section of the prison. Now that would be a deterrent. Or just poetic justice ( and most likely a shorter prison stay )
